    I worked for Pizza Hut when the Hot Dog Bites pizza was being sold. Two things - One, it came off the menu because they sold poorly and most people thought it was a joke (we sold at most one a day on average). Two, that's actually not how we made it. We had long hot dogs that we used to make a stuffed crust, then we used a special set of rings to cut the crust into the bites that we then rotated so they'd be easier to pull off and you could see the hot dog. Honestly, they were really labor-intensive compared to a regular pizza and I really disliked making them.

      thanks for the explanation. with every item here, I have the feeling that it is done in a way it is meant to be, but not in a way that it was done to have it reasonably priced.

    Guga, I used to work for Pizza Hut. The reason why it was discontinued was because it wasn't " already made ". It was precooked yes but not already made. There was this " tool " that looked like a big ring that was used to press down onto only the outer edges of the dough and cut them into strip segments, then the piggies were placed in the center of each segment and rolled individually. The same tool was used to make the cheese only version by placing 2 inch cheese sticks in each cut segment of the dough and rolling them individually. The reason they were both discontinued ( or at least made seasonal only ) was because of the time it took to make them. It was very time consuming and couldn't meet the demand.

    The lobster from McDonalds was a while supplies last item not apart of the main menu, and was the biggest pain in the butt as if a small piece fell onto the counter production in the kitchen had to stop and you had to sanitize the whole area incase someone had a shell fish allergy. Also for the cleanup NOTHING else could go in the sink with the lobster supplies, we had to clean everything THEN sanitize the whole sink before anything else went in to prevent cross contamination.

      The McLobster, a seasonal lobster roll offered by McDonald's in select regions, was discontinued primarily due to its high cost, limited appeal, and regional availability. The McLobster was part of McDonald's strategy to diversify its menu by offering regional specialties. However, several factors contributed to its discontinuation:
      1. **High Cost and Price:** The McLobster was relatively expensive both for the company to produce and for customers to buy. The cost of lobster can be volatile, often leading to a higher retail price for the sandwich compared to other menu items. This made it less attractive to customers looking for quick, affordable food options.
      2. **Limited Appeal:** The McLobster had a niche appeal. While it was popular in regions where lobster is a common and beloved food item, such as parts of Canada and the northeastern United States, it did not resonate as well with the broader McDonald's customer base.
      3. **Seasonal and Regional Availability:** The McLobster was a seasonal item, available only for a limited time each year, and was offered in select markets where lobster was more readily available and popular. This limited its exposure and the opportunity for it to become a staple menu item.
      4. **Inconsistent Quality and Perception Issues:** Maintaining consistent quality with a product like lobster, which is more delicate and variable than other fast-food ingredients, can be challenging. There were also perception issues regarding the quality of a lobster product being sold at a fast-food chain, which may have affected its popularity.
      These factors combined made the McLobster a less viable option for McDonald's continuing menu, leading to its discontinuation. McDonald's periodically reviews and updates its menu offerings based on consumer demand, cost-effectiveness, and operational efficiency, leading to the phasing out of some products over time.

      90% correct.
      It was much less of a concern to lose the handful of Catholics who actually abstain from meats on Fridays than it was to lose the patronage of the much larger portion of Christians as a whole who abstain for six weeks during Lent. It's the same reason a lot of chicken places down south will put out seasonal seafood items on their menus.
      I believe it was for this reason that Taco Bell briefly added shrimp tacos and burritos to their menu.

    The McLobster is still around, but it's only in New England, and only in locations that are close to a ready supply of cheap, _processed_ lobster. If the lobster has to travel more than 10-15 miles, or can't be purchased already processed, cleaned and chopped, then it's not happening. This means it's also seasonal, but since lobster is in season during *tourist* season, that's when you'll see it. It's also entirely at the discretion of the store manager. Port towns like Gloucester, Portsmouth or Portland are where you have a chance to find it. Also, I noticed that you are using Kewpie Mayo. That's going to be a HUGE improvement.

    • @DolanAndGoobyFTW
      @DolanAndGoobyFTW 11 місяців тому +15

      one ingredient thats impossible to recreate at home is the mayo that restaurants use, the flavor profile is called “Heavy Duty Mayo”. not only is it a better thicker consistancy than typical storebought or homemade mayo, but “Heavy Duty” is a secret generic flavor profile that is formulated to be the best tasting mayo. mayo is a complex balance of ingredients and only the commercial machines get a consistant result and flavor that people want. heavy duty mayo only comes in massive tubs for restaurant use, so its really a gatekept ingredient that commercial chefs have in their arsenal to help elevate sandwiches and have a superior base for sauces. i wouldve liked to see the mcdonald’s snack wrap in this video because honestly a key ingredient is the mayo, not just the chicken and flour tortilla.

    If you do another of this, PLEASE try to recreate Burger King's Cheese Powder Fries. They would sell a bag of chesey powder that you could shake your fries in, and I loved the hell out of those. It was in the early 2000's.

    It's actually easy to see why the majority of these items were discontinued. They all have more expensive ingredients that aren't shared with other items on the menu. When you have thousands of locations, trying to get those items would be hard and would be a waste of time if the item doesn't sell well. So when you have these unique menu items, they have to sell insanely well to justify the cost and shelf space of their ingredients

      but like a good amount of these seem like they would definitely sell well.

    10:24 Ironically the chizza made it's way to chile, though it followed more on pepperoni pizza rather than ham and cheese as seen in the video. Additionally they later released a chizza sandwich though they both were taken off the menu eventually.

    Here in Nebraska we have Taco Johns. They have a “Taco Burger “. It’s similar to the Sloppy Josè

      I lived in SD for a while and Taco John's became my favorite fast food, no Taco John's where I'm at now 😔
